Ubud: Zipline, Bali Swing, and Sky Bike in a Private Rice Terrace

Hold on tight above Ubud’s rice fields. This private outing combines Bali swings, a zipline, and a sky bike at U Fun Field, followed by a guided walk through rice terraces and local farm life. I like the mix of playful thrills and genuine cultural contact, especially the chance to meet farmers, cross a bamboo bridge, and learn how the land is worked. I also like that your group stays private, though the short visit can feel activity-heavy if you want lots of time for every photo stop.

The experience costs about $21 per person, with group discounts and pickup available depending on the package. You can also pay extra for a long dress rental and photographer. Keep your weather expectations flexible: heavy rain has caused some people to skip the zipline and sky bike, even when the swings remained open.

Five things to know before you go

• Three aerial activities: Choose from Bali swings, a zipline over the rice fields, and a sky bike that pedals along a high cable.
• Four swing choices: The Dream Catcher, Extreme, Flower, and Couple swings offer different levels of drama and calm.
• A real rice-field walk: The second part includes a farmer’s hut, a bamboo bridge, a waterfall crossing, and a chance to learn about harvest traditions.
• Seven photo spots: Wings of Bali is the signature backdrop, with traditional clothing and accessories included for pictures.
• Private format: Only your group participates, and the total visit usually lasts one to three hours, including travel time.
• Weather matters: Rain can limit the outdoor activities, so a dry morning gives you the best chance of doing everything.

U Fun Field puts the rice fields first

U Fun Field sits on about 40,000 square meters of rice fields in Banjar Gadungan, Bresela, in the Payangan area north of central Ubud. This is not a polished city amusement park. Its appeal comes from the setting: you are looking across paddies, palms, and open countryside while trying activities built above the fields.

The site brings together five things in one place: views, culture, food, playful activities, and photo settings. That combination makes it easy to fill a morning without arranging several separate stops. You can also pause at the on-site café, called U Eat, for coffee or food while waiting for an activity.

The setting is especially good for first-time visitors who want the classic Bali swing photograph but also want something more active. The zipline gives you a quick rush, while the sky bike asks for a little more nerve because you pedal yourself above the paddies. The swings provide the most variety, from gentle posing to a full adrenaline hit.

There is a practical tradeoff. U Fun Field is designed for memorable photos, so staff may spend considerable time helping with poses and retakes. That is good news if you want polished pictures, but less useful if your main goal is a long, quiet walk through the countryside.

Choosing between four Bali swings

The four swing choices give this stop more range than a single photo swing. The Dream Catcher Swing is the signature option and is promoted as the biggest of its kind. It creates the grandest visual effect, especially with the rice fields behind you.

The Extreme Swing is for the person who wants height, movement, and a stronger stomach test. You can expect it to feel more thrilling than the Flower Swing or Couple Swing, though the exact order and timing depend on the package you select.

The Flower Swing is the softer choice. It suits anyone who wants a pretty photograph without making the whole visit about speed or height. The Couple Swing works well for two people who want to share the moment, pose together, or avoid taking turns on separate swings.

Traditional outfits and accessories are included for photographs. A long dress rental is available for an additional $15 per person, and the dress uses a three-meter trail according to the supplied details. That extra cost can be worthwhile if you care about the flowing-dress effect in photographs. If you are only after the rides, skip it and keep the visit simpler.

The staff’s help with posing is one of the strongest parts of this activity. They may guide your body position, suggest poses, and retake photographs when you are not happy with the result. One particularly useful detail is that the team has helped visitors photograph their own suits and outfits, not just rented dresses.

The zipline gives you the clearest rush

The zipline crosses the green rice fields and gives you the fastest way to see the site from above. Unlike the swing, you are moving through the view rather than stopping in one dramatic pose. That makes it the best choice if you want a short burst of action and a different type of photograph.

Safety equipment and insurance are included. The activities are designed for a wide age range, listed as suitable from ages five to 99, although each participant still needs to be able to take part safely. The staff handle the activity process, and the equipment is supplied on site.

Do not treat the zipline as a long theme-park ride. The total visit includes several activities, so each one is part of a compact outdoor program. You get the pleasure of gliding above the paddies, but the main value comes from trying several experiences in one location.

Rain is the main concern. A wet morning can make the zipline less appealing or lead you to skip it entirely. If the forecast looks poor, bring a change of clothes and accept that your final program may include only some of the activities.

The sky bike is a slow test of nerve

The sky bike is a bicycle mounted above the rice fields. You pedal along a high track while looking down at the paddies. It is not physically described as strenuous, but the height can make it feel more demanding than a normal bicycle ride.

I like this activity because it changes the pace. The zipline is quick, while the sky bike gives you time to look around. It also creates a different kind of picture, with your body and bicycle suspended against the open fields.

The sky bike is not the best match for wet weather. One person had to skip both the sky bike and zipline during heavy rain but still enjoyed the swings. That is a useful warning: do not book this expecting every activity to run regardless of conditions.

If you have a fear of heights, you can focus on the swings that feel more comfortable, such as the Flower Swing. If you are keen on the full package, schedule it early in your Bali stay, so you have another chance to return if weather cancels the outdoor rides. That suggestion is practical but not guaranteed, since the supplied booking terms allow changes only under the stated cancellation rules.

Seven photo stops, including Wings of Bali

U Fun Field includes seven photo settings, with Wings of Bali as the best-known backdrop. The collection lets you move beyond the usual swing photo and create a small set of images in different poses and outfits.

The photo areas are part of the admission rather than a separate sightseeing walk. You can expect the staff to help with positioning, especially around the swings. A photographer is available for $15 per person if you want someone else to handle the camera, rather than relying on your phone or a companion.

The photographer add-on is most useful for couples, families, or solo visitors. Without it, your group can still enjoy the photo stops, but taking full-body pictures and action shots becomes harder. Bring a phone with plenty of battery if you do not pay for the service.

The traditional clothing and accessories included with the activity add a Balinese touch. They are mainly for photos, not a full cultural costume program. Think of them as a way to connect your pictures to the setting rather than a substitute for learning about Balinese dress.

The rice-field walk adds meaning to the rides

After the outdoor park, the cultural portion takes you into the famous Ubud rice fields. This part lasts about one hour and is more grounded than the swing area. You visit a farmer’s hut, learn about local customs, and walk across a bamboo bridge near a waterfall.

The most valuable feature is the contact with working agriculture. You may interact with farmers, assist with harvesting, or join them for coffee brewed over a wood fire. Those details turn the rice terraces from a pretty backdrop into a place where people work, cook, and maintain long-standing routines.

The walking route also changes the mood of the day. At U Fun Field, you are posing and riding above the paddies. On the walk, you are close to the ground, seeing how water, soil, paths, and farm shelters fit together. I would give this portion your full attention rather than treating it as filler between rides.

The exact cultural tour depends on the appointment, so not every activity may happen on every visit. The supplied information says the guided tour is based on scheduling. Ask ahead if the rice walk is important to you, especially if your main interest is culture rather than photographs.

Wear shoes suitable for a walk through fields and near a waterfall. The supplied information does not promise paved paths, so practical footwear is wiser than choosing shoes only for pictures. You can change into the traditional accessories for the photo portion.

What the $21 price really covers

At about $21 per person, the basic price is good value if your package includes the swings, zipline, and sky bike. You are paying for several activities, safety equipment, insurance, the photo accessories, and access to the rice-field setting. The private format makes the price more attractive for couples, families, or small groups that want to move at their own pace.

The value drops if you plan to use only one swing and skip the other activities. It also changes if you add the long dress, photographer, lunch, and transport. The dress and photographer each cost $15 per person, while lunch is not included.

Private transportation is available if you choose that option. Be clear about what you want, because the ride is primarily transportation to the site rather than a full guided tour by car. One useful suggestion from the supplied information is that a Grab or taxi directly to U Fun Field may be simpler if you are already nearby.

The meeting point is U Fun Field, Jl. Banjar Gadungan, Bresela, Payangan, Gianyar, Bali 80572. The activity ends back there. Travel time counts toward the stated one-to-three-hour duration, so pickup from farther away can make the actual time at the park shorter.

Service, pacing, and the small drawbacks

The staff receive consistent praise for being friendly, patient, and willing to help with photographs. Hesham is one staff member singled out for his positive energy. The photographer is also praised for taking time to retake images instead of rushing people through the poses.

That patient approach matters here. A swing photograph often takes more than one attempt, especially when you are managing clothing, hair, posture, and timing. The staff’s willingness to help is a real part of the value, not just a pleasant extra.

Food and coffee are available at the café, and the food receives strong praise. Lunch is not part of the basic package, so budget separately if you want to eat on site. The café also gives you a place to wait between activities.

The main weakness is weather. Rain can close off the zipline and sky bike, and the rice walk may be less comfortable in wet conditions. Another consideration is accessibility: a wheelchair can reach the site and enjoy the views, but wheelchair users cannot participate in the activities.

The advertised private format means only your own group takes part. That can make the visit feel less hurried and easier for families. It does not mean every part is individually customized, so check which activities are included in your selected package before paying.

Who should book this Ubud adventure?

I would recommend this for first-time visitors who want several classic Bali activities in one stop. It suits couples seeking photos, families with children aged five and above, and friends who want a light adventure without committing to a full-day excursion.

It is also a good choice if you want your Bali pictures to show more than a resort pool. The swings, Wings of Bali, traditional accessories, zipline, and sky bike all create different images. Add the photographer if you are visiting alone or want everyone in the group included.

I would be more cautious if you want a serious hiking day, a long cultural discussion, or a quiet rural walk. The rice-field section is meaningful, but the overall outing is built around quick activities and photographs. You may want a separate village or temple visit for a slower cultural experience.

The best booking choice is the fullest activity package on a dry day. If the forecast is unsettled, choose a time when you can tolerate missing the zipline or sky bike. Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time, but cancellations or changes within 24 hours are not refunded.

Should you book it?

Book this if you want an affordable, private burst of Bali fun with excellent photo potential and a genuine rice-field walk attached. The staff’s patience, the range of swings, and the chance to meet farmers give it more substance than a quick photo stop.

Skip it if you dislike heights, need guaranteed wheelchair participation, or would be disappointed by rain cancellations. For most active visitors, the $21 starting price is fair, especially when you use several activities and take time for the cultural walk.
